How to win at penalties

How to win at penalties

Author: The Celtic Underground July 13, 2026 Duration: 1:09:49

Two years ago members of the CU Community got access to the interview with Geir Jordet who wrote the book about how to win a penalty shootout. Since then, Celtic have been in a couple of penalty shootouts, we’ve had in game penalties and of course we’ve got penalties going on during the world cup.

In view of all of that we thought we’d re-visit the podcast and, looking at the World Cup ones and thinking about all our penalties, you can see where we have adopted his strategies and who at the World Cup has adopted them.

If you want to know more, you can read his book:
